Set many years after the predecessor, the game now has the player leading the world from Castle Hall following the death of the [=TaskMaker=]. As its protector, you are asked aid from people in neighboring villages. For the first tasks, you are asked to retrieve objects posessed by monsters that terrorize said villages; after retrieving each item, it is destroyed.
After a while, the player gets word that the [=TaskMaker=] has come back to life. The next task is to retrieve the key to his tomb. Upon arriving at the tomb, the player discovers that the word of the [=TaskMaker's=] rise was a ruse planted by the Captain Guard, whom you must then defeat to restore peace in the land.
The game boasts many features beyond that of its predecessor, including the ability to make your player male or female, and a fighter, mage, or thief. A completely new world is built around Castle Hall, with many new dungeons and villages to explore. The graphics have been dressed up, as well.

A sequel game to ''VideoGame/TaskMaker'', the 1990s {{Macintosh}} WesternRPG, from the same creators, Storm Impact.
Set many years after the predecessor, the game now has the player leading the world from Castle Hall following the death of the [=TaskMaker=]. As its protector, you are asked aid from people in neighboring villages. For the first tasks, you are asked to retrieve objects posessed by monsters that terrorize said villages; after retrieving each item, it is destroyed.
After a while, the player gets word that the [=TaskMaker=] has come back to life. The next task is to retrieve the key to his tomb. Upon arriving at the tomb, the player discovers that the word of the [=TaskMaker's=] rise was a ruse planted by the Captain Guard, whom you must then defeat to restore peace in the land.
The game boasts many features beyond that of its predecessor, including the ability to make your player male or female, and a fighter, mage, or thief. A completely new world is built around Castle Hall, with many new dungeons and villages to explore. The graphics have been dressed up, as well.
However, it was released in a tight time for the company, and many corners were cut in the development. (See [[http://web.archive.org/web/20040605131022/http://www.btinternet.com/~G.Janacek/Taskmaker.html#Tomb%20of%20the%20Taskmaker%27s%20Underdevelopment here]] for further info.) The game never made it past version 1.0 until July 2008, when developer David Cook posted a slightly updated version on his website.
!Tropes present:
* {{Abandonware}}: Having come out right before the collapse of Storm Impact,
* AnAdventurerIsYou: The player can choose to be male or female, and a fighter, magician or thief. Naturally, fighters, magicians and thieves all have different abilities, although [[PurelyAestheticGender gender doesn't matter besides some changes in graphics and sound effects.]]
* AntiFrustrationFeatures: If you're stuck, you can buy a scroll with a hint to each dungeon. Also, some of the secret options in the original game were moved into a "Player Options" menu.
* AwesomeButTemporary: Once again, the wands can only be used for up to four shots before they
* BagOfHolding: Taken even further than in the previous game. Using a Silver Lining scroll, you can make your pouch hold up to 61 items.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: One NPC jokes about the game crashing when he is frightened.
* {{Cap}}: Stats are capped at 1000.
* CheatCode: Many of the cheat codes from the previous game carry over (including the one to summon a ship), but the game warns you that such spells should be used only if you're stuck.
* DamnYouMuscleMemory: Some controls were changed in Tomb. "Blast" (capital B) became "Strike" (capital S); "Cure" (capital C) became "Heal" (capital H); and "Determine" (lowercase D) was merged with "Examine" (lowercase E). Making the Heal one worse is the fact that capital H was "Haste" in the original — a useful spell that doesn't exist in Tomb.
* DeathCryEcho: A different sound than the previous game.
* DeathIsNotPermanent: As in the previous game, you can die and go to Hell an infinite number of times.
* TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything:
** A door adjacent to a wall with a shape on it can't be opened unless you have that shape's corresponding key. You can't even knock down the door with a Falling Wall, or phase through it with an Ethereal Potion.
** Falling Wall scrolls do not not knock down black walls or walls with shapes on them. So you can't "break" the shape-door association by knocking down a wall with a shape on it, either.
* DualWielding: Also a carryover.
* DummiedOut: ''Tomb'' had ''four'' dungeon names which existed in the coding, but were never fleshed out into actual playable dungeons. Two of them were finally made by fans and added to 1.0.1. (Two more are also completely fleshed out in the coding, but weren't given access points, and can only be seen after you become a Master and set up entries for them.)
* EasterEgg: Every dungeon (including the tutorial) has a hidden angel. Give her Bucky's Beef Stew and she will tell her your name. You can then summon her name once to instantly heal you and teleport you back to the docks.
*** And yes, killing one sends you straight to Hell (at least in 1.0.1).
* FighterMageThief
* FirstTown: As in the previous game, Castle Hall.
* ForcedTutorial: Once again subverted; there is an option to skip the tutorial. But once again, it's wise to play it anyway, because you get far more loot.
* GameBreakingBug: Using the "original place" cheat code in the [=TaskMaker's=] tomb after you've made the final boss spawn will cause him not to re-spawn when you open the coffin a second time, thus making the game unwinnable.
* GetOnTheBoat: Required to get to Butterscotch, one of the later tasks. Unlike in the previous games, there are boat docks in Castle Hall, from which you can sail out a ship for a small fee. Alternatively, you can buy a Ship in a Bottle at the magic shop.
* InexplicableTreasureChests: Many dungeons and towns have treasure chests laying about, which can be opened to find an item.
* JokeItem: "Bar o' Lead", which has no value other than preventing teleportation by the final boss. Also, the "Stick o' Wood", "Empty can", and "Empty bottle" seem useless at first, but placing them into the fountain in Gofe will yield a magic wand or HealingPotion, respectively.
** There are also some creative StealthPun items, such as a useless axe calle "Aks a stupid question...", and "hard rock bands" which are the highest armor rating but deafen the player.
* LevelEditor: Accessible after the final task.
* LikeABadassOutOfHell: There is one out of four possible "ironic hells". One of them has you giving presents to Devils, and they make fun of you for doing so. After enough times, the exit opens. Nothing prevents you from killing them at this point.
* MoneySpider: Far more exaggerated than the previous game. Killing nearly any monster or NPC will often result in a huge treasure trove.
* ObviousBeta: ''Tomb'' due to the many gaps. For instance, at one point you're told that the villages south of the mountains have given you a key; there's only one actual village south of the mountains.
* PlayableEpilogue: One is accessible after the final task. It consists of a small pathway lined with [=NPCs=] that generate random lines of praise, and a teleport that reveals a secret message.
* PurelyAestheticGender: Present in ''Tomb''; the only differences are in character appearance and some sound effects. The character creation dialog box even mentions this.
* SequenceBreaking: Once again subverted. You can't access any other town unless you first sit at the throne, nor can you pick up a task object until it's been assigned to you.
* ShoutOut:
** One of the rotating "final words" for an NPC's death is "Shucky darn and slop the chickens!", which comes from an old ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'' strip.
* TakeThat: If you examine a bush, it will say "Bush (at least he was honest)".
* SignificantAnagram: The most powerful cloak in ''Tomb'' is named "Cloak and avoid". This is an anagram of "David Alan Cook", one of the game's creators.
* SkeletonKey: Also present as before. If you're a Thief, you can also purchase lock picks, which work on any locked door.
* SprintShoes: "Boots o' Speed".
* TeleportSpam: The final boss can do this.
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: As before, you can slaughter all the [=NPCs=] in a town, then use "original place"[[note]]the spell was called "restart place" in the predecessor[[/note]] to do it all over again.
* WakeUpCallBoss: The boss is about 10 times stronger than any monster you'll come across, and has legions of {{mook}}s. The boss can also make items drop out of your pouch or make you thirsty, ''and'' he can summon more mooks.
* WalletOfHolding: As before, you can carry forms of currency, but you can't use them in a shop until you deposit them in an Auto Teller. Also, you will lose any un-deposited currency if you die.
* WelcomeToCorneria: Most monsters only say "Arrrr!" regardless of mood.
* WizardNeedsFoodBadly: As before, there is a Food meter, which can be replenished by any food item or a healing scroll. Wearing a Food Ring or Candy Necklace will keep the Food meter full at all times. The game makes it much easier if the player goes hungry and can't find food; should you die and go to Hell, the Food bar will fill right back up.
** There is also a Thirst meter, which rarely comes into action unless the player has come back from Hell or is made thirsty by the final boss. Thirst is replenished either by finding a beverage of some sort (with some, such as Coffee, Latte, or Cappuccino also restoring other stats), or using a Heal spell a few times if you're a magician.
